“New art project aims to raise awareness around Covid-19 among people of color”

Artist in Residence Carrie Mae Weems was featured in  Syracuse.com article “New art project aims to raise awareness around Covid-19 among people of color.” Weems, who joined the University Artist in Residence program in January, “uses photographs, film and video to discuss themes about race, politics and social issues.” Weems’ new project called “RESIST COVID TAKE 6!” “refers to the recommended six feet of separation in social distancing” and has resulted in digital billboards popping up around Syracuse “about the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on communities of people of color.”
